A 21-year-old Arizona man has been sentenced to 16 months in federal prison for his role in a conspiracy by members of the neo-Nazi group Atomwaffen Division to intimidate and terrorize journalists and minorities in Seattle and the Northwest. Johnny Roman Garza was one of four people arrested by the FBI and indicted by federal […]
When the FBI arrested five senior members of the Neo-Nazi Atomwaffen Divison early in 2020, it seemed that the terror cell was on its last legs.

Sehr junge Neonazis erscheinen oft zwischen lächerlich und gefährlich. In Durham, Großbritannien, wurde im vergangenen Jahr ein 16-Jähriger verhaftet, weil er Anschläge auf Synagogen und Moscheen plante. Und „plante“ meint in diesem Fall: Er hatte […]
Far-right enthusiasts with an interest in terrorism are increasingly organising themselves in “divisions” online – from the “Atomwaffen Division” in the USA to the “Sonnenkrieg Division” in the UK. These international networks also have members in Germany: On February 5, 2020, a 22-year-old man was arrested in the Bavarian district of Cham and is alleged […]
